FRANKLIN — Two Pennsylvania men who are believed to be part of a tri-state shoplifting ring that specializes in the theft of baby formula and other high-priced products have been arrested in Sussex County, police said today.

Kyle Morris, 24, and Joshua Lindfors, 25, both of Dingmans Ferry, were arrested late Tuesday in Franklin without incident, Franklin police said.

The arrests came after Morris was allegedly caught on a video surveillance camera stealing nearly $1,000 worth of baby formula from the Franklin ShopRite on Route 23 at about 4 p.m. Jan. 31, police said.

A subsequent investigation linked Morris to the theft of baby formula and a high-end teeth whitener, valued at roughly $1,400, at the Byram ShopRite on Route 206. The two men were also linked to an approximate $1,400 shoplifting incident at the Newton ShopRite on Route 206, police said.

“The investigation revealed that these individuals have been committing similar offenses throughout the tri-state area,” police said in a news release.

Lindfors, who was found to have been released on bail from two other jurisdictions for similar offenses, is being held in the Sussex County jail on $25,000 bail in connection with the Franklin theft.

Morris, who was also found to have been released on bail from another jurisdiction, is being held on $20,000 in connection with the Franklin theft.

Bail was additionally set at $20,000 for each man for shoplifting at the Byram ShopRite.

Police said additional charges are pending in Newton and other jurisdictions.
